1. Paul McCartney
It’s no surprise that the former Beatle is one of the world’s richest musicians. Even after a costly divorce, Sir Paul’s net worth is estimated at $660 million. The richest Beatle chose wise legal council, and invested in song publishing rights. Being a member of The Beatles, who have sold over 170 million albums in the United States alone, doesn’t hurt either. (Photo by Roberto Serra/Iguana Press/Getty Images)

    well this list is absolutely incorrect.paul Mcourtny and michael jackson stands almost equal.beatles at top with almost a billion but the share was devided in to four parts.for me its michael jackson who made over 500 million$.he owned 27000 acres ranch known as never land valley ranch and was worth of 30 million dollers.its maintenance cost was between 1 to 3.8 million dollers per month.he has the world most selling album of all time called thriller which sold more then 110 million copies up to date.according to genies world record he has the highest royalty on album sales which is 25%.he is also recognized as most successful entertainer of all time.every friend of his used to receive costly gifts.his clothes were specially designed costing over 10 million dollers a year.approximately 40 million were spent on clothing and 150 million dollers for neverland total.50000 dollers a day for living in luxurious hotels while he was in tours as he used to take one whole floor with so many rooms.almost 160 million dollers from tours.HE IS THE KING OF POP AFTER ALL.
